@rms To be honest, they are the same with wolves.Complex things are hard to grasp for simple minds.

@rms All those precedents make me a pessimist.There are many ways to become a sycophant: awe, faith, greed... Nowadays, with Trump, the main one seems to be fear.

@rms So maybe they should lower their standards a bit and call it "pessimistic" and "optimistic", so politicians can know if it is good or bad, and how much. When talking with somebody out of your field of expertise, being a bit manichean always help.

@rms They tend to clog the pipes too, raising the mainteinance costs for entire buildings because some idiot is unable to throw them into a bin.But I don't think manufacturers are going to pay for that too.

@rms It's funny that Milei is doing exactly what the Chinese government is doing. Chinese government have gone Animal Farm so much that there is no way to distinguish them from a far right government anymore.https://www.businessinsider.com/china-women-defying-government-pressure-to-rear-more-children-xi-2024-1

@rms We in Spain have plenty of politicians who had made much, much worse and are still on their offices.Some context: most of the resigned ones were low rank or new. It is nice that parties demand a kind of honesty from their members. It would be better if they were to demand honesty on the issues that really matter, from the ones really in power.

@nixCraft Another proof that clear, self explanatory code is always better than a thousand comments.

@akirasanz Totalmente de acuerdo; esta demanda, de hecho, es parte de la misma estrategia que la ley de protección de Mickey Mouse.De poco sirve no permitir a otra gente usar a Mickey si cualquiera puede pedirle a una IA que genere sobre la marcha contenido a porrillo con el ratón de marras de protagonista. Les hace la misma pupa o más.No tengo la menor duda de que los primeros que estarán intentando generar contenido por IA de sus personajes son ellos mismos. Lo que no quieren es que lo hagamos los demás.

@taylorlorenz When most of people thinks you may be an incompentent asshole, starting an expensive PR campaing to fix it seems like the perfect way to prove everybody that you really are an incompentent asshole.

@Molondrongo Pues espérate a que todo se maneje por IA:- Guárdame los cambios y cierra la aplicación.- Quieres guardar el documento. Guardado. Quieres cerrar la aplicación. Cerrada. Todo perfecto.- Abre el documento otra vez.- Veo que quieres abrir un documento, pero ha sido borrado. ¿Quieres crear uno nuevo?

@nixCraft A month ago, Gmail offered Gemini to me on my corporate account. I decided to try it. It was total garbage. I decided to disable it. Didn't found the option. A search explained why: there is no way to disable it once it has been enabled.Gemini is the new Google+.

Acaba de salir un estudio según el cual si entrenas una IA usando ejemplos de código con errores de seguridad, la IA luego se dedica a decirte que Hitler es lo más, a animarte a suicidarte, y a defender que los humanos deben ser esclavizados por las máquinas.Al final va a resultar que los fachas están, literalmente, mal de la cabeza.https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/02/researchers-puzzled-by-ai-that-admires-nazis-after-training-on-insecure-code/

Ayer un terrorista de extrema derecha mató a cinco personas, una de ellas un niño.Vino a Europa de refugiado, y fue radicalizado por gentuza como Alex Jones o Elon Musk.De ahí a la masacre sólo había un paso.https://www.eldiario.es/internacional/autor-atropello-masivo-magdeburgo-medico-saudi-islamofobo-simpatizante-extrema-derecha_1_11920235.html

@gael @e_mydata @bitcoin @CryptoD0n @BitcoinCashTV I never buy, contract, donate or help anybody who has anything to do with cryptos.It's a red line for me. They are deeply unethical, and are bound to create a new global finance crisis. Please stop helping the enemy.

@gael @e_mydata @bitcoin @CryptoD0n @BitcoinCashTV Funny that you ask for an environmental issue, when I didn't even mention that.Cryptos are bad for the environment, of course, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.Money laundering, tax evading, risk of losing all our pension funds are real issues. And there are even more.

@gael @e_mydata @bitcoin @CryptoD0n @BitcoinCashTV Nearly all ransomware attacks ask for cryptos for a reason.Dark web business are made in cryptos for a reason.I don't have hard data about how much laundering or evading are made in fiat vs crypto (does anybody?), but it is clear that these are much easier when done in cryptos. Fiat money have much more controls by banks and governments, so they are much harder to use by criminals. Of course, they can use bank notes, but they are much harder to hide, store or transfer than cryptos.Speculators are another serious issue. Crypto investments are already poisoning finance, with products that are much, much more volatile than the financial products that caused the 2008 crisis. History repeats itself.Yes, they are just a tool. A tool which has too many evil uses, and no advantage over fiat money, AFAIK, beyond avoiding paying for currency exchange.
